Instructor Certification Programs
If you've got an iPhone, iTouch or iPad, check out our latest app: BUMPER TO BUMPER ® Easy CDL Hazardous Materials Endorsement Review. Our first app, BUMPERTOBUMPER® Easy CDL, was so well received (it got four and five stars from users), we decided to do another. We heard that applicants for the Haz Mat Endorsement are especially nervous about that written test. The Easy CDL Haz Mat app is a great test prep aid. Nine "lectures" cover the information that endorsement applicants must know and the audio feature makes reading more enjoyable. Over 200 multiple-choice test questions give the student lots of practice. There's even a bonus Glossary of haz mat terms.
Clearly, users are finding the new app helpful. One reviewer called our first app "awesome" :-D. We've got four- and five-star reviews and sales reports that put smiles on our faces.
Look for these apps in the iTunes store or go to Study By App on the Internet. We'd love to hear your reactions. You can also leave your comments right on the iTunes Easy CDL pages.
And yes, we're working on our third app. Look for a launch this fall, around October.
Interested in a custom app for your program? We can do that. Give us a call at 361-749-4007 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
We've Got a Map for That!
Check out our blog at www.cdlbookblog.com where we've added an interactive map. Clicking on the different buttons links to the Web sites of the US CDL licensing agencies by state. We hope that makes finding state-by-state licensing information and regulatory changes easier to find.
Get Together
